Time Warner Interactive's VR Virtua Racing
System(s): Sega Saturn
Publisher: Time Warner Interactive
Developer:
Peripherals supported: Arcade Racer Joystick
Genre: Racing

















Number of players: 1-2
Release Date RRP Code

The Sega Saturn port of Virtua Racing was not produced by Sega, but rather by Time Warner Interactive, who released it in 1995 as Time Warner Interactive's VR Virtua Racing (for some reason they considered VR part of the game's name, as evidenced in the in-game copyright screen). In Japan the port is called Virtua Racing SEGASATURN (バーチャレーシング セガサターン).

This port adds several new tracks and vehicle types and rearranged CD audio music. It does not contain anything from Virtua Racing Deluxe, and the graphics quality was not raised far above the Sega Model 1 original's.
